Twitter Sorter

  I'm sure all the tweeters will be following different people for different purposes. Some for news, some people coz they are family, some coz you are their fans and many more reasons. Some of these people tend to tweet a lot and hence you timeline is flooded with their tweets.
  It happens with me many times that Engadget is tweeting excessively while I am not interested in them right now. God! I hate such moments! I always wished that My timeline was sorted according to category. Yes, Twitter has lists and you can read the tweets of the lists but that is too long. Hence, I am making an application called twitter sorter. It sorts all my tweets according to categories. My basic plan is setting the categories according to the Lists created by the user but not all users create lists (damn them!). Also, I wonder wether I should keep the tweets as seperate selectable objects or just show them as texts.
   Well, I am waiting for suggestions so please send them in!

Exploiting facebook/twitter mobile facilities

We have seen many GPRS based applications for tweeting and updating your facebook status. But what to do if you want to tweet/update status without connecting to internet? Well, facebook and twitter have facilities where you can tweet/update status by simply sending a message to a certain number. You can use that technique in your application. For this you just have to know the method for sending a message from your mobile. If you are coding in C# it is very simple to do.
You just have to writing the following code:
->Microsoft.WindowsMobile.PocketOutlook.SmsMessage sms = new SmsMessage(number,text);
->sms.Send();
In case of facebook the number will be:923223265 and for twitter it is:53000.
Another thing that needs to be kept in mind is that, you need to add
Microsoft.WindowsMobile.PocketOutlook in the references.

This is a simple way to keep your app different from others.Though C# is used for programming for windows mobile.
